AN INTERESTING ASIDE:
A few months ago a friend told me he wished he still had his old Yashica-D TLR, so I gave him my Ricohflex-G that I wasn't using. He was happy as can be. Then about a month ago Ritz closed their store here in Boone. Guess where the only place in Boone that you could buy 120 film and get it processed? So as of now the only way to use medium format in Boone is via mail order and/or do it yourself.
This is how it goes, the distibution channel drys up the supply, and only the very serious will go though the effort needed to continue to use it. This lack of supply is more likely to happen to film than lack of demand.
The interesting thing is that the serious little camera store that Ritz took over (that is Ritz's MO) probably could have continued to muddle through where Ritz's attempts to compete with Wal-Mart & K-Mart at higher prices didn't stand a chance here.
